If I had any knowledge whatsoever of id Tech 3 codebase, or even better, knew how to screw around with code in the first place, I would have at least attempted something. As it stands, I am not the hero TC deserves, nor the one that it needs. The solution? Strap Coroner to a chair next to his computer to get him to make an update... Or go insane...

On a more serious note - I doubt it will ever happen even as a 3rd party thing. First question would be - what exactly are the changes that TCE needs? Could those changes impact the game in a way, that causes older players (the only players) to shy away? Second question - who? A team, a talented individual? An update is not going to rise by itself, and it seems like the community does not really possess the people it needs for pumping out something of that caliber.

Thread will probably get locked in a few days.

It's been 7 years since the last TCE patch. The development of TCE officially ended 6 years ago

Is my point, Game got greened on steam, but how can it compete. Needs an update, official/3rd party, what ever. OR switched to modified ET or TC standalone engine. As originally planed by Coroner.Also, The standalone was completed.

As for the maps, well, They would be much better if i was not limited by ET.

I think a 3rd party update to TCE is the only real option. Even if its only swapping to the TC standalone.

Unfortunately cqb_dim was only created to allow 3rd party mappers to test work while waiting for Coroner to finish his work with tc:cqb. I do not have the coding knowledge or permission/files to release a full working version of cqb_dim. With out Coroner any 3rd party updates to either TCE or CQB are going to be limited. That said, alot of the limitations are due to ET but like i said, A standalone TC engine was created and i am sure the bug fixes from et:l could be added to it although TC:standalone was beta when i last spoke with the creator of it.

Who is creating TC:standalone ? so it's old TC ? or TC:E ?ppl play games more that they have micro transactions ingame. Ingame items to be purchased by real money or ingame money.

Ppl still play MWTC ? there is directx to opengl translation tool by valve[url]http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/178276-valve-open-sources-its-directx-to-opengl-translation-software-here-come-the-steamos-and-linux-games[/url]

So I understand that theres only 2 ways to update TCE without Coroner.1)make a pk3 with necessary updates2)modernize ET engine to suit better with TCE and also incorporate code from other et engine modifications

*)Maybe some work to make TCE independent from ET content and thereby go fully standalone?
